Wxyz is a Parisian artist born in 1980.
His first favorite theme is the deformation of the last four letters of the alphabet.
He owes his artistic awakening to the observation, from an early age, of wall inscriptions.
He has fun transforming letters and looking for new ways to draw Wxyz with, as he likes to say to children, "all the colors of the alphabet".
In these works, the letter is more than a pseudonym, it serves as a pretext for exploring colors and shapes, as a skeleton for abstraction.
He is placed in the same category as purely figurative artists like Banksy, Shepard Feray, Vhils, Invader, Jef Aérosol, Miss.tic, Hopare, Alec Monopoly, but also in the same category as old graffiti painters like Seen, Rammellzee , Dondi White, Jonone, Taki 183, Kaws, Futura but also in the same category as Jo Di Bona, Artur Bordalo, Madame Moustachue, Okuda, Chanoir and Jérôme Mesnager. 67349829
